Equivalent Terms for Jurisdictions

Some terms automatically retrieve alternative forms or equivalent terms. If you search using one of the terms from either column in the table listed below, West km reads it as equivalent to the others in that row and retrieves all terms.

Notes:

You can turn off the automatic retrieval of equivalent terms in a Terms and Connectors query by placing the # symbol in front of the term. For example, to retrieve Kent but not Kentucky, type #kent.

Punctuation is not considered part of the search term, so abbreviations entered with periods and without spaces (e.g., no.car) retrieve all variations of an abbreviation (e.g., No.Car., No. Car., and No Car).
